He always annoys the other cats and when the cats scratch him he cries like a little baby and we have to hug and hold him until he quiets down. i always search him for injuries but he is always fine. LOL! How do I make him stop being so annoying so he doesnt get hurt some day? We have a german sheppered and she has hurt him a couple of times which is one of the reasons I got a normal sized yorkie rather than a teacup one.Why is my little dog such a bully?
Under any belief, dogs and cats do NOT get a long, this is probably a reason why your dog is annoying your cats and because he is so small and annoying your cats are acting out with aggression against your dog. This can be a large threat and although there are no wounds that stand out your puppy can still be getting injured, and from seeing the cats fighting back he can act out more.
Your puppy has not been socialised properly and this is why he is acting out and being aggresive.
Also because your puppy is a boy, he will see himself as the alfa dog, your german shappered is putting him in his place (she isn't hurting him in a harmful way. It just what dogs do).
You need to socilaise your dog, and redirect his aggressive behaviour to toys and other things. Try and ease the situation not make it worse.
Dogs and cats do not get along, so this behavious may keep going on. Try and sperate them and again direct his attention to toys, when he leaves your cats alone give him a treat.
Your puppy is probably also just trying to be playful, he's a bundle of energy and needs lots of exercise and stimulation. Try and give him different things in his life to help his mind etc.

usually the small dogs are bullies. they feel so small around all the big things around him so your dog tries to act tough. You just have to show him that he isn't small. Don't stand over him, get down on your knees to make him feel less overwhelmed. Also, you should be more stern. Right away if he attacks the cats, scold him. This will teach him that it is not good. You hugging him is showing him that it is okay to act like that.Why is my little dog such a bully?
Your dog may be antagonizing the cats because he is small. Because of his small size, he tries to seem mean and try to be dominant over the rest of your pets. He also may want the attention from you, so he purposely tries to get the cats to hurt him so you will baby him.
Don't hug him until he quiets down, leave him. If he's hurt you'll see it in a few minutes once he's stopped crying, but he might think you want him to do this if you reassure him. Scold him when he annoys the cats- if you have a "don't even think about it" noise and a "bad dog" noise, give the first when he approaches the cat with that focused look, and the second once he starts annoying them. Some dogs will respond when you warn them when they first go to harrass the cats, before they're too excited.
If he ignores you, scold him, pick him up, and put him out of the room. You should do this very quickly, and in one fluid movement, immediately after he annoys the cat. If he gets scratched you do the same thing. It should be less than 5 seconds between "Haha, take that stupid kitty!" and "Wait, where did everybody go?" since it makes it easier for him to grasp.
Has the german shepherd drawn blood from the little dog? If not I wouldn't worry about it.
